Portobello Road Asparagus Vodka — A World First in Vegetable Spirits
Flavoured 40% ABV ABV Portobello Road DistilleryMy new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with garden herbs — I also picked up a subtle earthy quality from the potato base that the review mentions. On the palate, white pepper is spot on, and there's a a slightly mineral edge that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with Medium. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.
A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The a subtle earthy quality from the potato base drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, a slightly mineral edge are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Medium is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
Blown away by this vodka
Bought this on the strength of the review here and I'm so glad I did. The a subtle earthy quality from the potato base on the nose are subtle but present, and the palate delivers — The potato base provides excellent weight with white pepper. The finish has Medium that proves vodka is far from flavourless. Hats off to Portobello Road Distillery — this is exceptional craft. Already on my second bottle.
